Great thread idea!

By the way, I find that the price increases in the 2010 decade are now so underrated compared to what happened in 2020.

Haha - I agree! When a card went up by $200 US, people would say "screw that sh*t! I ain't buying that!" And now that same card has gone up by $20,000 US! LOL!

1948 BOWMAN #69 GEORGE MIKAN

PSA 8 sold for $50,100 Sept, 2020 (during pandemic)
PSA 8 sold for $132,000 Feb, 2021

163% increase!

1961 FLEER #8 WILT CHAMBERLAIN

PSA 8 sold for $33,659 Sept, 2020 (during pandemic)
PSA 8 sold for $144,544 March, 2021

329% increase!

1972 TOPPS #195 JULIUS ERVING

PSA 9 sold for $3,999 Dec, 2019
PSA 9 sold for $59,040 March, 2021

There have been a lot of great specific examples, but speaking personally just for midgrade postwar HOF'ers - it seems a lot of the cards that I bought in the $150 range in the last 5 years are now $250-300 cards, and some cards that I had thought of as $500 or so cards have now doubled or more in value. I have no plans to sell the large majority of it, so it's kind of a situation of sitting back amusedly and watching - but yeah. Been that kind of year.

An SGC 1.5 closed for $3195 this morning. That's roughly 3x-4x where a card in that condition from a major TPG was before the price surge.

A 52T Mays #261 PSA 6 just sold for $17k on ebay last night, a pretty nice one too. The last two PSA 6's sold for $25k each.

The 2 at 25K had the mays death tax built in when Aaron died.

Mays is healthy as a horse and will live on forever so it should continue to drop. I'm looking to pick up another 51 Bowman for a song as It's SGC and off center. Nobody likes or wants it cause it's not "PSA" or "Dead Centered".

Can somebody do the numbers for 1952 Topps Jackie? I think it went up about 10 times...but only if PSA and centered. All others are losing value I think?

Not on my watch. This card is high on my wantlist and never pulled the trigger. Still looking and getting more depressed by the day.
